Delivery ward

I dont know about other hospitals. But for KKH, you only get to choose the class of ward on the day itself (I was induced for both my pregnancy). For my #1 (3yrs ago); I was told to book ~2-3weeks before my EDD. For my #2 (3mths ago); I was told the system changed and was only allowed to choose on the day I was supposed to induce. Which I think makes sense because how many of us actually gave birth on the EDD itself? So they have this first-come-first-serve policy. For my #1 & #2, I was told that the ward depends on availability. Its not a guaranteed that I will get what I want.
